Chinese Olympians to arrive at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Posted on July 22, 2010 and seen times
Nine elite Chinese athletes and coaches will be greeted at the Dane County Regional airport Friday night in true UW-Madison fashion - by Bucky Badger and the UW Marching Band.
The athletes will spend the fall semester here as part of the UW-Madison Chinese Champions Program, a formal exchange with Beijing Sports University.
They are world-class competitors in track, speed skating, swimming, table tennis, skiing, curling and gymnastics. Among them is Luo Xuejuan, who earned a gold medal in the breaststroke in the 2004 summer Olympics in Athens.
